Infrastructure modernization

Did you know that Google Cloud runs on the same global infrastructure that powers YouTube,
Gmail, and other Google products used by billions of people around the world? Learn about Google
Cloud’s approach to infrastructure modernization and understand the solutions available to
migrate workloads, rehost, and replatform. These courses will teach you about implementing,
deploying, migrating, and maintaining applications in the cloud and offer hands-on experience
along the way.

New to Google Cloud? Start here.

If you are new to Google Cloud, begin your learning journey by
exploring the Google Cloud Fundamentals: Core Infrastructure course. In
this course you will learn about the computing and storage services
available in Google Cloud. This course also introduces important resource
and policy management tools, such as the Resource Manager hierarchy and
Cloud Identity and Access Management.

For a hands-on introduction, also consider exploring the Google Cloud
Essentials hand-on labs on Qwiklabs, where you will learn to write Cloud
Shell commands and deploy your first virtual machine.

Cloud Architect learning path

This path is designed for Cloud Architects who want to develop an understanding of Google
Cloud technology to design, develop, and manage robust, secure, scalable, and dynamic
solutions to drive business objectives.

Learn strategies to migrate workloads from the source environment to Google Cloud. You
will be introduced to fundamental concepts as well as more in-depth topics like managing
virtual machines and configuring networks. You’ll also learn how to leverage Google's
workload mobility application, Migrate for Compute Engine.

Learn to design Google Cloud deployments that are reliable and secure and to operate
Google Cloud deployments in a highly available and cost-effective manner. This course is a
great introduction to site reliability engineering, or SRE.

Learn how to containerize workloads in Docker containers, deploy them to Kubernetes
clusters provided by Google Kubernetes Engine, and scale those workloads to handle
increased traffic. You’ll also explore how to continuously deploy new code in a Kubernetes
cluster to provide application updates.

This course will help you prepare for the Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect exam
by analyzing use cases, identifying technical watchpoints, and developing proposed
solutions. You can test your abilities with hands-on labs and with sample questions
similar to those on the exam. For more information on the exam, visit the
certification overview.
